User blog comment:Brigadier Barty/The (Should-have-been) Conqueror of Redwall Abbey/@comment-26141072-20150325075109

I'd say Ferhago would have made much headway. He busted into Salamandastron and if it weren't for Samkin, Mara, Urthwyte and the others, he'd have gotten it down, and he did kill Urthstripe, although that was a mutual kill.

He'd probably have killed the majority of the Abbey dwellers, due to the fact there's no proof he liked slaves and his gang are called the 'corpsemakers.'  He would probably let a few live, because he was definitely smart enough to know about rationing, cooking, et cetera, although he could be a bit cruel about it. Otherwise he might turn the place into something like Kotir, probably using it as a base to recruit and spread outwards (as he was kind of planning to do with Salamandastron, asides for the badger treasure) and if he kept the place, he would definitely have taken over Mossflower. He was one smart old weasel there. ..
